Participants
The Corridor Advisory Group (CAG) includes representatives from each of the 13 municipalities and regions through which the scenic byway passes. The CAG is scheduled to meet 6 times during the project’s 21-month timetable and to provide general guidance and oversight on the development of the Corridor Management Plan. For a list of CAG members click here.
The Local Advisory Groups (LAG) are a subset of the Corridor Advisory Group and are comprised of residents, business owners, civic leaders, and other community stakeholders. Their role is to provide guidance to the CAG and local insight to the planning process. For more details about the role and responsibilities of the Local Advisory Group members click here.
All meetings of the CAG and LAG are public, and LAG members are welcome to participate in CAG meetings.
